Save page input to a file

Hi,
I have a task where a user should be able to save the nput on a page to a file.
The page contains a form and a tabular form.
The user must also have the possibility to upload the saved files and save the corresponding data to the database.
This operation is needed for possible shortcomings in internet connection and it is used in laptops.
I wonder what would be the most simple way to do this.
I thought that maybe it could be done so that the whole page is copied as HTML and saved to a file. Then on upload the corresponding input values of the objects are copied to the page and the page is then submitted. But how to copy the values from a blob?
And I guess there is a better way to do this ?
Any tips or comments would be really helpfull, because I must get this ready soon.

Hmmm.. so your users want to start modifying the report in the apex page itself, but want to continue modifying the same even after the network connection is lost ?
I was thinking of asking them to download the excel first,modify it(the excel) and then upload it later.
If this is the case , irrespective of what you do in apex the values entered are going to be staying in the user's browser. Of course you can use a tabular form based on a collection and use ajax to autosave the data once in a while but even thats not going to be very effective.
Saving the HTML would probably be the only way (if they don't want to upload an excel) . As I mentioned earlier , upload that HTML file to an XML column and extract the values from there. You can also combine the approaches , by having a Javascript on the page which dumps all the data into a textarea in a comma separated structure which the users can save into a csv file,open it in excel modify i and then upload it too.
Irrespective of the method used, you have a slight problem (which you have overlooked). Once the connection is lost, Pagination request from the tabular form do not work anymore, so users can only work on one page(the one which is loaded), same is the case with downloading the report to excel even that needs a request to the server(so the javascript method I mentioned would have this problem again). Saving the complete report together in an HTML page(using a large pagination value) or modifying an excel would probably be the only way then.

Save pages as a .doc file??

On my old Pages, I could "save as" a .doc file easily...and everyone oculd open it and it would be fine. My updates did a Pages update automatically and now I can't find the old "save AS" option and I can't figure out how to download as a .doc file. HELP?!! I don't want to think this, but has someone from Microsoft infiltrated the Apple Staff??

You didn't mention which version of Pages. The following is the File > Export To... panel in Pages v5.2. As Peter commented, and I would verify the export results to .doc/x from Pages v5.2 before I sent it to anyone. Also, I reiterate Peter's position about using Pages ’08/’09 if you have it.

When I "save page as" I also get a folder with gif images, jscript script files and other similar items. how can I stop this.

When I "save page as" via the file button at the top edge of the page, I also get a folder containing gif images, jscript script files and other similar items. I am not is allowed to delete it unless I also delete the page I need. How can I stop this from happening. is it the way I've configured firefox perhaps.
== since I installed firefox

Make sure that you have selected "Web Page, complete" to save the page.

Save Page As Folder Order is Least Recent, not Alphabetical

When I execute Save Page As from the File menu or type CNTL-S, the order of the Folders presented it the box is Inverse Most Recent, rather than Alphabetical! Windows XP SP3 Laptop with FireFox 4.0.1. I can chose Details and order them alphabetically, but the next time I have the same problem. Checked support pages - Problem Not Found. Just started yesterday. Tried Power Cycling computer to no change. Windows (File) Explorer works just fine.

Make sure that you have selected "Web Page, complete" to save the page.

Refresh page but SAVE USER INPUT in tabular form WITHOUT UPDATE

Hi,
When there is a tabular form in the page and user refreshes it (in anyway) tabular form's elements are always computed with values from the table in db. Can we somehow save user input in fields so that after refreshing page user will see what he/she has typed but not submitted to db?
Regards,
Tom

Hello Andy,
Let me introduce you to the problem.
There is a tabular form based on a source table. User modifies the data and after he/she clicks Submit button the validation procedure is being run before MRU. If the result of validation is positive then MRU is run otherwise data should not be submitted to db and user should be informed about the result. Moreover, he/she should see the invalid data in fields. Not the correct one from db.
Is there any way to save a session state of these fields or of a whole tabular form? I cannot save the data in other table in db.
User cannot click 'Add row' several times in my app because after he clicks it once then the button disappears and appears again only when he/she clicks 'Submit' first (so after validation procedure).
Maybe there is some way to store fields' values in memory and then compute the form when page is loading again?
Imagine the situation that there are 100 rows in tabular form and user modifies it for one hour, clicks Submit, validation result is negative and his/her whole one hour work is lost, because the form has been refreshed according to what is stored in db. Such situation should never occur.
Regards,
Tom

TWO CRITICAL BUGS: 1) File, "Save Page As" and 2) right-click the picture and select "Save Image As", both do not work at all in Firefox 27, 28, and 29!

Note: capitals are used only to highlight important words.
PLEASE, TAKE THESE COMMENTS ON TWO CRITICAL BUGS VERY SERIOUSLY BECAUSE THE BUGS DESCRIBED BELOW ARE SO CRITICAL THAT I CANNOT USE THE LATEST VERSION OF FIREFOX UNLESS THEY DO NOT APPEAR IN THE LATEST VERSION AND THEREFORE I AM FORCED TO REVERT BACK TO FIREFOX 26.
I have Windows 7 64-bit and Firefox 26. I could not install Firefox 27, 28, and 29 due to the persistent presence of the two critical bugs described below. I have 8 GB of RAM and an Intel quad-core processor and a lot of hard disk space available.
I installed Firefox 27 and then Firefox 28 a while back and these two bugs described below were still present and now I have just checked again with Firefox 29 by installing it and yet again, these two bugs described below are present!! UNBELIEVABLE THAT THESE TWO CRITICAL BUGS ARE STILL PRESENT IN FIREFOX 29 WHEN I CLEARLY INFORMED YOU ABOUT THEM IN THE HELP, SUBMIT LINK OF FIREFOX!!
I am forced to revert to Firefox 26!
First, I use Windows 7 64-bit and I always use Firefox with at least 120 tabs opened. BUT I have 8 GB of RAM, an Intel core i7 quad-core processor and more than 1 TB of hard disk space. Consequently, I do not understand why I would have these two critical bugs.
With Firefox 26, I also have at least 120 tabs opened when I start Firefox and I do not have the two critical bugs described below, therefore I do not believe that the number of tabs is the reason of the two critical bugs that are present in Firefox 27, 28, and 29.
---FIRST CRITICAL BUG:
When I open ANY web page and do File, "Save Page As", the window that is supposed to open to locate the folder where I want to save this web page does NOT open at all, even if I wait a long time to see if it opens.
Same problem happened with Firefox 27, 28, and now 29!! When I reverted back to Firefox 26, this problem did NOT happen anymore!
---SECOND CRITICAL BUG:
When I use Google Images, for instance entering model in the search field of Google Images and then pressing enter.
Then I select any picture, open to a new tab this selected picture, then open a new tab by selecting the option View for this picture. Then right-click the picture and select "Save Image As".
Again, the window that is supposed to open to locate the folder where I want to save this picture does NOT open at all, even if I wait a long time to see if it opens.
Same problem happened with Firefox 27, 28, and now 29!! When I reverted back to Firefox 26, this problem did NOT happen anymore!
---THESE TWO CRITICAL BUGS DO NOT APPEAR WHEN I USE INTERNET EXPLORER 11.
I have no idea if you will be able to reproduce these two critical BUGS but I can assure you that they are not present when I use Firefox 26 and they are present when I use Firefox 27, 28, and 29. More, be aware that I have at least 100 tabs opened but I also have this same number of tabs opened in Firefox 26 and yet I do not experience these two critical bugs when I have Firefox 26!
Once again, these two bugs touch at two vital, critical very basic functions of Firefox and therefore I will NOT be able to use any version above 26 if these two bugs are still present, as they are present in Firefox 27, 28, and now 29!!!
Please, make it a priority to solve these two critical bugs. Thanks.
I did read a post related to the same issues “Firefox stops responding when trying to "save page" or "save image" | Firefox Support Forum | Mozilla Support” at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/991630?esab=a&as=aaq
I am still reading it again to try to figure out exactly what the person did to make his problems be solved, as the post is not clear at all on what solved the problems!
In any case, all the suggestions proposed in this post do not work and I surely cannot do a system restore when it is obvious that the two bugs do not appear in Internet Explorer.

First, I sent an email to the author of PhotoME to inform him of the serious issues his addon caused with Firefox latest versions.
Now, for those of you who do not have the PhotoME addon and yet experience the same problem that I had and that I described above, I suggest the following strategy.
As PhotoME did cause these problems with Firefox latest versions, I am pretty covinved other addons probably might cause these problems too. Therefore, adopt the following method.
Test one addon at a time to see if this particular addon is behind your Firefox issues like the ones I had.
So, disable one addon only at a time. Then close your Firefox and restart it from scratch and see if you still have your Firefox problems. You must restart the Firefox browser from scratch. If you still have these Firefox problems, re-enable the disabled addon, restart your Firefox (again!) and repeat the same method for every single addon that you have.
Try to be selective by choosing first addons that are more likely to cause your Firefox problems such as not very well-known or not very popular addons (like it was the case for the PhotoME addon).
If this method works or if it does not work, report it on this web page so that others can be helped with your comments.
I hope this method will help you because I was really upset that I had these Firefox problems and I first thought it was the fault of Firefox, only to discover later that this PhotoME addon was the culprit and had caused me such upset.

Unable To Pass Input Page Parameter Using PageDef File.

Dear All,
I am currently exploring task flows as I dont have that much knowledge in it.
Here's my use case
1. I setup a taskflow which has a Method Call and a View Activity in it.
2. The method call is a default activity which just calls a web service.
3. After execution, I just wanted to display the result of the method.
I used input page parameters to pass data between the method call and the view activity.
     (I passed the data by accessing the pagedef file directly. I know I can do it using pageflowscope..but this is
     my self exercise so that I could understand ADF fully );)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="windows-1252" ?>
<adfc-config xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/adf/controller" version="1.2">
<task-flow-definition id="ManageEmployeeTaskflow">
    <view id="viewEmployee">
      <page>/viewEmployee.jsff</page>
      <input-page-parameter>
        <from-value>#{data.com_test_ManageEmpFlow_methodPageDef.empInfoIterator.currentRow.dataProvider.name}</from-value>
        <to-value>#{data.com_test_viewEmployeePageDef.name.inputValue}</to-value>
      </input-page-parameter>
    </view>
    <method-call id="EmployeeSetup">
      <method>#{bindings.EmployeeSetup.execute}</method>
      <outcome id="__12">
        <fixed-outcome>viewEmployee</fixed-outcome>
      </outcome>
    </method-call>
    <use-page-fragments/>
</task-flow-definition>
</adfc-config>Problem is, when I display the data. Nothing is being displayed.
<af:inputText value="#{bindings.name.inputValue}"
                  label="#{'Name'}"/>          I debug the taskflow and the <from-value> really has a value, but I am not sure why it cant be passed to next pagedef.
Any idea please?
Edited by: Marky on May 15, 2011 11:25 PM

Hi,
I've been thinking... Is this way of passing parameters not possible?
      <input-page-parameter>
        <from-value>#{data.com_test_ManageEmpFlow_methodPageDef.empInfoIterator.currentRow.dataProvider.name}</from-value>
        <to-value>#{data.com_test_viewEmployeePageDef.name.inputValue}</to-value>
      </input-page-parameter>Thanks.

On my new Imac, I had the trial version of Pages, and saved some files in it. Now I have purchased the full version from Apple via a download, but I cannot save or print the old files, please help!

On my new Imac I saved some files on the free trial version of Pages, since downloading the full version from Apple, have been unable to save or print from old files saved when using the trial version. Any ideas? Thank you!

My guess is the 30-day trial period has expired but you didn't remove the trial before installing the full version. The files to delete are the iWork ’09 folder from the main HD > Applications; the iWork ’09 folder in HD > Library > Application Support & the individual iWork application plist files found in HD > Users > (your account) > Library > Preferences for each user.
Yvan Koenig has written an AppleScript that removes the files. You can find it on his iDisk in For_iWork > iWork '09 > uninstall iWork '09.zip.

I have a question about extracting pages. When I do the function, adobe saves the individual files as "<file name><space><page number>", so the files look like this "filename 1.pdf", "filename 2.pdf", "filename 3.pdf". Without too many gory details, I am using excel to concatenate some data to dynamically build a hyperlink to these extraced files. It casues me problems, however, for the space to be the the file name. Is there any way to change the default behavoir of this function to perhaps use a dash or underscore instead of a space?

No, you can't change the default naming scheme. You can do it yourself if you extract the pages using a script instead of using the built-in command.

You can't.
Although kind of roundabout, in Pages you can export as PDF then open in Preview and export as JPG.

Save FrameMaker Book as PDF - Files with different page sizes

I've created a book with 2 files - the pages in the first file are 8.5 x 11, the pages in the second file are 8.5 x 14.
How can I save the book as a PDF but keep both page sizes? Right now if I change the page size in the PDF settings dialog, it changes all pages.
Thanks.

Something's not right. Try this route then:
1. Use the Print Book option and have the AdobePDF printer instance selected, turn off the the Print to File, enable the "Generate Acrobat Data" option.
2. Click the PDF Setup button to ensure that the Page size is set to the largest (as in the previous message),
3. Then click the Setup... button to configure the printer for the largest size required.
4. Then click the OK button to get back to the Print Book and finally click Print.
5. You should be prompted where to place the file (unless you left the default configuration which may place it on your desktop).
This should have all the pages correctly cropped as in the following sample with Letter, Legal and Tabloid all in one book:

It's not you, it's Lion, Save As is gone.

How do I save a web page as a .txt file?

There is no 'save as'; there is no menu bar. The limited menu bar in the lower left of the phone does not cover this.

AFAIK then the Firefox mobile version only allows to save web pages as a PDF file, so you won't be able to do this.
